DependencyObjectType.FromSystemType(Type) Method

Definition

Returns a DependencyObjectType that represents a given system (CLR) type.

public:
 static System::Windows::DependencyObjectType ^ FromSystemType(Type ^ systemType);
public static System.Windows.DependencyObjectType FromSystemType (Type systemType);
static member FromSystemType : Type -> System.Windows.DependencyObjectType
Public Shared Function FromSystemType (systemType As Type) As DependencyObjectType

Parameters

systemType
Type

The system (CLR) type to convert.

Returns

A DependencyObjectType that represents the system (CLR) type.

Examples

The following example calls FromSystemType , creating a DependencyObjectType based on the type of the Window class.

DependencyObjectType dt =
    DependencyObjectType.FromSystemType(typeof(Window));
Dim dt As DependencyObjectType = DependencyObjectType.FromSystemType(GetType(Window))

Remarks

Each DependencyObject maintains a DependencyObjectType property that returns a DependencyObjectType, but this requires having a particular DependencyObject instance. You can use this static utility method if you do not yet have a DependencyObject instance and require a DependencyObjectType.
